Exclusive Bullion Coins from the Royal Canadian Mint: The Canada Goose Lands today!
By StoneX Bullion
The Royal Canadian Mint has earned an outstanding reputation in the world of precious metals, particularly with its legendary Maple Leaf bullion coin. Available in both gold and silver, the Maple Leaf coin is not only a bestseller for investors worldwide but also a symbol of excellent quality and innovative security standards. These coins are distinguished by their intricate design and exceptionally precise craftsmanship, making them a trusted and valued investment.
In recent years, the Royal Canadian Mint has periodically expanded its offerings with a series of special editions for unique occasions. These commemorative coins, often developed in collaboration with selected partners, provide investors with not just an opportunity to diversify their portfolios but also unique collector's items. These coins frequently diverge from the traditional one-ounce standard, giving them a distinctive feature that makes them coveted by both collectors and investors alike. When the weight exceeds one ounce, the minting costs do not scale up proportionally, offering an additional price advantage for investors.
Exclusive Silver Coin for Investors and Collectors – Available Only at StoneX Bullion
The latest – and undoubtedly a particularly notable – special edition is the exclusive Canada Goose coin, soon to be available solely through StoneX Bullion, in limited quantities and with strict limits. This bullion coin combines high aesthetic quality with innovative security features, making it especially appealing to both collectors and investors.
The coin features the Canada Goose (Branta canadensis), an iconic symbol of seasonal changes in North America. For centuries, these majestic birds have flown across Canada's landscapes, signaling the change of seasons. The Canada Goose nests throughout Canada and follows various migration routes southward, with the longest journey spanning from the northern tundra to the southern USA and Mexico. Due to climate change, an increasing number of populations are wintering in Canada, and some have even begun nesting in West Greenland.
Canada Goose is No Stranger to Numismatics
The Canada Goose has previously appeared on Canadian coins, including a famous commemorative coin marking the country's 100th anniversary. This new special edition continues that tradition while offering a modern interpretation of this significant symbol. The Canada Goose was introduced to Britain in the 17th century and later became known on the continent as a wild bird. Its growing presence and adaptability are now reflected in this artistic coin.
The coin is minted by the Royal Canadian Mint and consists of 99.99% pure silver, weighing 2 ounces (62.29 g). With a diameter of 38 mm and a face value of 10 Canadian dollars, it offers both a practical and aesthetic dimension. The bullion finish with radial lines and the serrated edge highlights the coin's high quality. It is packaged in tubes, with a box containing 280 coins. The artistic design is by Steve Hepburn for the reverse and Steven Rosati for the obverse.
Highest Security Standards and Finest Minting Quality
Two advanced security features stand out on the coin: precise radial lines and a micro-engraved laser image of a maple leaf with the number “25” in the coin field. These features enhance security and make the coin a standout piece in any collection of Canadian commemoratives or nature themes. The 2-ounce coin has a face value of 10 CAD and features the portrait of King Charles III on the obverse, designed by Steven Rosati.
Collectors will find this coin of great interest due to its artistic design and connection to Canadian fauna. The detailed depiction of the Canada Goose, combined with the Royal Canadian Mint’s exceptional craftsmanship, makes it a sought-after collectible. For investors, the coin offers an attractive investment opportunity due to its high silver purity and advanced security features. The blend of aesthetic design, historical references, and innovative security features makes this special edition a valuable and coveted piece in the precious metals market, merging Canada's history with modern security standards.
